Probably make more money if they charged Vat on Sky, BT, Netflix subscriptions.

I never see Vat identified seperately.

Anyone know whether it is charged ?

Don't know about VAT on Sky services but an oireachtas committee a month or so back suggested that RTE look into charging Sky and other cable networks for airing RTE on their platform, Sky's response was that they would not pay anything or even enter into discussions about paying anything and would pull the RTE stations from their platform if there was any charge.

How come RTE are on Sky but not on Free-to-air? Even though I pay the charge/tax I cannot get RTE using an aerial but would be able to get in on satellite. As I do not have Sky I find it unfair and worse than unfair if Sky are not paying anything.
